As predicted, Ousmane Dembele received the prestigious Ballon d'Or award on Monday.

The leader of Paris Saint-Germain was deemed the favorite to win the golden ball after an impressive season.

Upon receiving the award, the Frenchman did not hide his emotions and thanked all the clubs he has played for so far.

"I want to thank all the clubs I have played for during my career: Stade Rennes, Borussia, and the club where it was a dream for me to play – Barcelona."

In Barcelona, I had the opportunity to learn from players like Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta. It gave me a lot. I am incredibly happy," O. Dembele said.
